SYNOPSIS
realpath [-q] [path ...]
DESCRIPTION
The realpath utility uses the realpath(3) function to resolve all
symbolic links, extra `/' characters and references to /./ and /../ in
path. If path is absent, the current working directory (`.') is assumed.
If -q is specified, warnings will not be printed when realpath(3) fails.
EXIT STATUS
The realpath utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Show the physical path of the /dev/log directory silencing warnings if
any:
$ realpath -q /dev/log
/var/run/log
